Two hours 'til doors
With my patience running short I-I am shaking in my seat As I grind my fucking teeth I-I am waiting for the day When no one is concerned So excuse me if I may This is how we spread the word Seconds from the stage Now we count in one, two, three It's time to stop the hate This is where you want to be [Chorus:] Now I'm red, I'm out of breath Feel the music through your feet A shot of light, I see the eyes What a perfect way to meet Now's the time to move We've got nothing left to lose And I-I will swallow all my pride If you do the same tonight Aren't you sick of waking up Feeling like you've wasted time? Let the demons in your head Take control of your mind Seconds from the end Did it touch you like a priest? Will you give up all your cares? Now it's time to make your peace [Chorus] It's a waste, we can't relate To this losing industry But it's alright, we'll always fight For the things that we believe Seconds from the end Did it touch you like a priest? Will you give up all your cares? Now it's time to make your peace [Chorus] It's a waste, we can't relate To this losing industry But it's alright, we'll always fight For the things that we believe |

Wait while jealousy tears you apart
I'm sorry but I cannot help the way you are That we do the things you can't Just wait can't you see you're being weak? It's shallow and dark you know every time you speak You're just lying through your teeth Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me We are everything you wish you were But, I'm feeling kinda concerned we're probably friends But you hide from consequence Yeah you must have a lot of spare time To put down the words that you write But no one cares You should put your mind to rest Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me Get to me... Get to me... Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me Sometimes, days are like you say yet I don't agree with what you see But I will never let the bitter things you say ever get to me |

You are the light waiting in the dark
You're real and untouched You're the attack waiting for a heart Like mine to open up You saved the day, flew in like a dove I tried to stay up I can't believe who lies next to me I can't keep my eyes shut [Chorus:] Where did you go dear? I am alone in here I'm running but I'm stuck And bleeding from the waist up Where did you go dear? I am alone in here I'm running but I'm stuck I've fallen and I can't get up I can't get up You are a fire, burning in the sea I swim in your heat We are a choir singing hymns to keep The widow's mind at ease [Chorus] Take me there Take me where you are Take me there Take me where you are Where you are We are a choir singing hymns to keep The widow's mind at ease Take me there Take me where you are Take me there Take me where you are [Chorus] |

Turn your eyes to me
I am watching every move you make What should I wear today on my sleeve? Let's take a step and move away Underground is where we'll stay For a while [Chorus:] I will mix my tongue with strings and drums And give my soul away Can you hear them come? Strings and drums You're my mystery You are always at my fingertips Without you I'm just bones and skin I will lick your cuts and be your bruise Until I fade from deepest blue Into white [Chorus] I will change my words from nouns to verbs And never be ashamed Can you hear them come? Strings and drums I am writing myself clean I am selling myself cheap I am aching for a touch or a taste And I'm aching, aching, aching now I'm holding, holding, holding out I'm calling, calling, calling out to you [Chorus] Strings and drums [Chorus] I will change my words from nouns to verbs And never be ashamed Can you hear them come? Strings and drums Strings and drums |

Laying in the dust
Feeling the cold Take me if you must But not for too long [Chorus:] 'Cause I feel so safe hiding my face Like ugly birds in a beautiful cage A bad actress in a wonderful play An ugly bird in a beautiful cage And I will stay the same I have plastic eyes And a heart made of snow I love swimming up high And flying down low [Chorus] Just pull me out now Oh will you just pull me out now? 'Cause I feel so safe hiding my face Like ugly birds in a beautiful cage A bad actress in a fucked up play An ugly bird in a beautiful cage And I will stay the same |

Today I woke up in a tiny plastic cup.
Spiders in my hair, crawling everywhere. In my mouth, behind my eyes, keep me warm inside. Flown here on my back. This is my hiding place. And you will never see all the strange sides of me. And it's so believable. I'm bad and bad is good. If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover. The priests all have been buried in concrete. I confessed my sins to clowns and buildings in the ground. I found a mistake in the way that we were made. Dress up party at my house, we'll all be someone else. And you will never see all the strange sides of me. And it's so believable. I'm bad and bad is good. If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover. And we're so original. I'm bad and bad is good. If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover. Drive fire engines through the desert and the rain. I'll search the shipwrecks in the ocean for a flame. Never caught a sickness that didn't list me as a friend. Never made a friendship that didn't kill me in the end. And you will never see all the strange sides of me. And it's so believable. I'm bad and bad is good. If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover. And we're so original. I'm bad and bad is good. If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover. I'll be the hangover. |

Right, is it right to take a life for the taste
Of a mother or her child Do you think? Don't you think about the pain they face? Just to end up on a plate [Chorus:] Can you taste the factory inside your chest? It's not a drug, religion or the way you're dressed If they could be dishonest would you be impressed? Can you deny this? You, if you didn't have a voice would that mean That you were worth much less than me? Don't you try, don't you try to justify your lust For the blood of innocence [Chorus] Ignorance is bliss It always is [x6] [Chorus] Ignorance is bliss It always is [x2] |

He just threw out all of his old clothes
And all the music that he owns It's time for his yearly change of style She speaks with a British accent The keyboard is her favourite instrument Oh-oh [Chorus:] The drinks are cheap and vinyl's cool What do you think of my new shoes? You know me and I know you Yeah we do [x2] She used to love Reel Big Fish, Then she decided she loved the Smiths So she downloaded all their greatest hits He is learning the tambourine He tells his band that's what they're missing Oh-oh [Chorus x2] Yeah we do, yeah we do They both go to all of the same clubs Where everyone takes all the same drugs And talks about how they're 'so f**ked up' They try to get up and dance But they're all wearing spray on pants It was a sight to be seen I wonder who they'll be next week [Chorus x2] |

Sick, I'm on a road that's up and down
The devil choked and spit me out 'Can we get some air back here?' Oh no you Can't we make a search for common ground? I'll take the woods you take the lost and found Peel your eyes it's everywhere I'm finding out [Chorus:] I'm a criminal, criminal Inside my own humble home I'm watching time race ahead I'm missing you to death Stop! I saw the culprit get away He took a suitcase full of shame He made a left but I'm not sure For all I know... [Chorus x2] All, all I know Down, down the drain Cold, cold in this Dark, dark, deep grave [Chorus x2] |

Two lovers dressed in their nighting gowns
Sleeping but their souls are somewhere else Nobody came when they called for help There was a ghost in the boy's bedroom Wearing the boy's mother's perfume He didn't know he would see her soon [Chorus:] It's watching you change It's somewhere in the house You can't get away And baby cried her eyes out [x2] There was a leak in the kitchen sink The carpet was red, now it's faded pink There was enough for the walls to drink [Chorus x2] We are blinded by the gleam We are following the sheep It's like nothing we have seen before Now I can't tell us apart Take the dollar from your heart It has taken everything we are Sheep! Dead! Meat! Two lovers dressed in their nighting gowns [x3] |

We're rejected, neglected little busy bees
We don't smell right like ageing little bags of meat I-I-I-I-I-I don't like this taste But I didn't, didn't, didn't know how to wash it away [Chorus:] Honey why can't you tell I don't want you around? Honey why can't you tell? Leave me out [x2] We are an army; we're looking for a place to fit in We are angels committing all our pretty sins I-I-I-I-I-I don't like this waste But I didn't, didn't, didn't know how to shake it away [Chorus x2] We said oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh We are crawling, collecting little stones in our knees We are a movement but we will never be a scene I-I-I-I-I-I don't like this face But I didn't, didn't, didn't know how to scrape it away [Chorus x2] Honey why can't you tell I don't want you around? Honey why can't you tell? [x2] |

Talk, talk, talk, a constant canvas
Painting all that we know Do you think that we don't know the truth? Down, down low beneath the surface You will find you're hollow Say one word and that word will echo [Chorus:] Bite your tongue 'cause they won't listen We won't sit and die here All that's dark will now turn into light Power doesn't come from one It comes from the whole nation You will never cut into the sky Take, take, take but never give back We've got more than we need You've become the dagger in our back We can't wait for intervention There must be a change here In the way we think and how we act [Chorus] There are no more virgins left in this town Everybody's thinking up new names Can't you see we're slowly going down, down? And we can't let this be our fate Down, down low beneath the surface You will find you're hollow Say one word and that word will echo [Chorus] |
